Football, or soccer, is one of the most popular sports in the world, so naturally football betting
would be one of the most popular forms of sports betting around. Betting on various aspects of a
football game adds an extra dimension of suspense to the game, since you have a very real stake in
the outcome, win, lose or draw.

"Not good enough."
Three words used often by football fans to describe aspects of the club they support. They're
used in relation to certain players, performances, the manager, the board, the price of a pint and
a pie, how their club handles various communications, pretty much anything they've got the hump
with for one reason or another.
by Ed BishopBy the end of the Wednesday night's contest at the Independence Events Center the scoreboard looked
more like that of a blowout football game rather than a soccer match as the Missouri Comets routed
the Syracuse Silver Knights 33 to 12. The Comets showed every indication that they're starting to
hit their stride as they improved their record to 11-8 and continued to make their playoff push to
secure the second spot in the Central Division with their second win in a row.
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas made headlines yesterday when he came across as extremely
non-committal in discussing prospective signings such as Genk's Kevin De Bruyne and Shakhtar's
Willian.
The Portuguese manager has followed up by explaining that his stance stems from the unappealing
nature of the January transfer window.
Welcome to Offbeat Wednesday, where we cover the wacky side of football! Today, read about the
Rooneys' mismatched outfits, Guti's bizarre return to Real Madrid, Mario Balotelli's ride and
Irina Shayk's "cam-whoring" tendencies. All in a day's work, it seems!

We tweeted Sunday afternoon that Benny Feilhaber is a huge fan of the Baltimore Ravens. Many people
wondered ... well ... why? Benny tells us ...
"It started with my dad. He worked in Brazil but he always had trips to the U.S., and the first
football game he watched was with the Cleveland Browns.
Peyton Hillis was everyone's favorite player last year. This year, the Cleveland Browns running
back has struggled. Why is Hillis struggling? He claims he's the victim of the Madden Curse.
Said Hillis: "Things didn't work in my favor this year. There's a few things that happened this
year that made me believe in curses.
"The Seattle Sounders have seemingly great fans, but it's not really genuine,'' he said. "It's
fans pretending to be European soccer fans. It's almost like a costume party, with folks wearing
scarves and whatnot. Who wears scarves? For crossover fans -- guys who are fans of both the
Sounders and the Seahawks -- would you ever in a million years see one of those scarf-wearing
Sounders fans wear a scarf to a football game?
As Christmas approaches, on this week's main listening report, we take a look at football at

Throughout history, people have been kicking a ball but the earliest scientific evidence suggest
that it was an exercise from a military manual in the second and third BC in China it was called
Cuju. Modern football took years in the making after the Chinese forgot about cuju.
Hi everyone,
Having gone through another engaging Premier League weekend, I think that the most talked about
incident is the ''penalty that never was'' in the every so interesting game between title holders
Manchester United and ''hot runners'' Newcastle. This was bound to be a eye catching for the fans
but ever so difficult for everyone involved with the clubs and especially referees.
Tomorrow sees the Singapore Cup Final taking place at the Jalan Besar Stadium. Home United will
look to complete the first leg of a domestic double when they take on League Cup winners Albirex
Niigata.
Last year's affair saw Bangkok Glass defeat Tampines Rovers 1-0 (programme cover left) while I got

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, also known as the baby-faced assassin, is one of the ultimate legends in
Manchester United folklore. He was snapped up from Molde in 1996, the club he now manages, for a
bargain basement purchase of just £1.5 million.
Injuries are part and parcel of the football game, and news today that French winger Gabriel

With the Philadelphia Union set to host their inaugural playoff match this Sunday, much of
Philadelphia is gripped with Doop fever. Another symbol of the team's success at reaching hearts

I would hate to be in Helsinki this coming Friday. Its already enough that the cruise ships that
trawl back and forth between Stockholm and the Finish capital bring their fair share of completely
loaded weekend alcoholics. It's another thing when you mix this with a football game. Come Friday
night, Helsinki is going to be packed with Sweden supporters singing loud and obnoxiously while
downing beer after beer.

The one thing I have noticed about teams that have won titles, is that they take their chances
– I mean even the one chance you would consider slightest, to win a football match. Pundits have
termed it ‘champion's luck' but in actual sense, every team has this champions luck. What makes
the difference is that some teams take these chances and win titles; others do not and end up in
the championship!
Dallas Cowboys fans have one thing on their mind heading into tonight's Monday Night Football
game against the Washington Redskins: Is Tony Romo going to play? The good news for the Cowboys and
their fans is that, yes, Romo plans on playing.
Even though Romo suffered a punctured lung and a broken rib last week, he says that he's "good
to go" for MNF.
"An afternoon when the Old Firm fixture reclaimed some credibility as a footballing occasion to
savour."
That's The Scotsman's verdict on yesterday's humdinger of an Old Firm game.
Rangers outdid Celtic. Football outdid the myriad levels of crap that pockmarked this fixture last
season.
With a World Cup on the way and the 2016 summer Olympics on the horizon, Brazil is gearing up

football fans into the country.

Like a love affair, Arsene Wenger had stated in a pre-season interview posted by The Guardian
that he would fight until the last second to keep midfielder Cesc Fabregas by his side.
Since there are very few matches on this weekend of note, I thought I'd share with you some video
highlights of a classic English football game from the 1970-71 season. This one features Arsenal

Money, hope and pride. That's what is at stake today. And people thought it was
about a simple football game...

Football Manager 2012 will be launched before Christmas (most likely in November to give enough

patch).
If there ever was a match that highlighted how a football game can be a story of two halves, it was
this one. AC Milan managed to claim the Italian Super Cup in Beijing but only after coming back
from one nil down with two goals in the second half. In typical fashion Max Allegri's [...]

Fun and games at the All-Star Game: David Beckham and Thierry Henry share a laugh Monday
while practicing for Wednesday's game (AP Photo).
Regular readers know I'm no fan of the MLS All-Star Game, an American sporting tradition that
has no place in a global game. And after some of the antics and overall performances we've seen
recently at games between MLS clubs and foreign opposition, combining the All-Star game with an
exhibition against Manchester United is just combining two bad ideas.
Zero Arrests, Just Two Ejections From Cascadia Cup Match
Hopefully, league officials look at the first three Cascadia Cup matches and see what they're
looking for. According to this report in the Oregonian, there were no arrests and just two people
ejected from the game on Sunday. As a comparison, the article points out that nine people were
ejected from the 2009 Civil War football game between Oregon and Oregon State.
Football on Mars - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
How would you play football on Mars?
A trio of University of Leicester undergraduates have studied just that, looking at how the
reduced Martian gravity and light conditions would alter the dynamics of a football game.
In what is effectively a very limited (2-page) study, the authors primarily look at how the
reduced Martian gravity and atmosphere would mean that not only 'hit' footballs would travel four
times the distance on Earth, but that the lack of air resistance would reduce the player's ability
to 'bend' the ball.
